@variablepulserate How old is your iMac? With the new tapered shape from 2012 onward (no optical drive), the 27-inch came in at 21 lbs, earlier 27-inchers were 30.5 lbs.

@variablepulserate I have a 20-inch Cinema Display (DVI) that weighs 5.8 kg. My 21017 4k 21.5-inch iMac weighs 5.7 kg.

I have different names for my iOS devices: the 5th gen iPad is "Madam Susan's Greater House of Pain," 6th gen iPod Touch is "Silverbird," 7th gen iPod Touch is "Reddy1," iPad Mini is "SmallPad" & the Space Grey iPhone SE is "GreyPower."
Thinking of various names for the black 128 GB iPhone SE (2020) that's on its way I don't think I can do any better than "The New Black."
@sumudu Maybe so, but the MacBook was designed from the outset to support all manner of USB items, whereas a plain innocuous USB pen drive can tell an iOS device that it draws too much power. I then discover that a different one by the same manufacturer is OK. This is when the hub has to be used.

I'm seeing rumours on various blogs of a new low-end iMac, replacing the current 21.5-inch models with a 23-inch display while retaining the same form factor. This is achieved by reducing the size of the bezels around the edges of the screen. It's expected they'd use 10th generation Intel processors as well.
Would be good if the displays were Retina & SSDs used instead of HDDs & Fusion drives.
Successful baking episode. Done a rather nice soda bread. Not to be confused with yeast breads, these are dense constructs that go well served warm with a fruit conserve or honey. I'm be having a few lumps with a bowl of soup for lunch today.
@matigo Hubs certainly work with my iPads, 5th gen 9.7" & 5th gen 7.9" Mini.
Some USB devices connected via USB draw too much power. But when connected to a powered hub, they mount just fine.

I discovered that music.apple.com is now out of beta. First time I ran it on my MacBook Pro it displayed a generic Apple Music app window. Then iCloud kicked in & it picked up my Apple Music Library (this was while using Safari, other browsers require manual log in).
I noticed then that the bottom right corner showed an icon of the US flag & the words United States.
By this stage the Safari address window was displaying https://music.apple.com/us/browse, so I changed that to https://music.apple.com/au/browse and the lower right corner displayed Australia.
Doesn’t work on iOS all browsers tried just force-opened the Apple Music app.
Worked OK on Android 10 but that platform has a native Apple Music app so it isn’t needed in a browser.
Was incredibly slow on the G4 PowerBook, gave up when it wouldn’t load an essential script in the TenFourFox web browser.
Was OK on the dual-1.25 GHz processor G4 PowerMac but was still a bit slow to respond.
@axodys I put in my order for a black 128 GB SE almost as soon as the pre-order window opened. It should arrive on Friday, 24th. I’ll be getting a well-cushioned iPhone 8 case with padded corners. Cheaper to get an exisring 8 case than a new SE one.
@jextxadore You might get by with FreeOffice 2018. More info here: https://shrtm.nu/xItv
